Used primarily as a herbicide, it effectively controls a broad spectrum of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds in various crops, including cereals, corn, and sugarcane. Its mode of action involves acting as a synthetic auxin, mimicking plant growth hormones to cause uncontrolled cell division and elongation, leading to disruption of normal plant development and eventual death. It is particularly valued for its selective activity, which targets broadleaf weeds while minimizing damage to grasses and desired crops. Additionally, it is applied in non-agricultural settings, such as industrial areas and roadsides, for vegetation management. Its stability and efficacy in different environmental conditions make it a reliable choice for weed control in diverse agricultural and non-agricultural applications.
